Read about all my sewing makes
I sewed some new sweaters for myself perfect for cooler spring or fall weather. I used the new release from Sofilantjes* the Volare Sweater. I love the V shape colour block in the sweater. I really like the design of the sweater but sewing 12 V's wasn't my favorite activity. I have tried several ways... Continue Reading →
The first pattern test for myself in 2023: the Madeline top and dress from Mosaic Patterns. I loved the neckline of the top the moment I saw it and that neckline persuaded me to test the top. The top is nicely fitted at the back and still loose enough at the front. I love that... Continue Reading →
Our girl was not the only lucky one to receive a Felix top. I also sewed a Felix top for myself and I love this new pattern from Sofilantjes*. I basically love everything about it: the flowyness, the asymmetrical top and hem, the fact that the band covers your bra band. You can finish the... Continue Reading →
A new top (and tunic or dress) pattern from Sofilantjes*: the Magistra top, tunic and dress. It is the perfect top for work or for a day out with a beautiful neckline. As always the pattern includes different options. There are long hemmed sleeves, cuffed sleeves (with beautiful pleats) and short sleeves. I sewed up... Continue Reading →
Just before my holiday I sewed up this Miss Haze top and dress from Sofiona Designs. It is just such a lovely summer dress, flowy, light and with beautiful details. It is not a quick sew but I learned a lot during this test. First I will show you the dress with pleats at the... Continue Reading →
Our girl adores flutter sleeves. I am not sure what I think of it. However, I have the kids schooner tee and dress from Jennuine Design* already on my to sew list for a while. So when I saw the tester call for the adult Schooner tee and dress I jumped in on the occasion.... Continue Reading →
Every time I am amazed how Elles from Misusu designs a new pattern that is so out-of-the-box and different from what I have seen so far. This is also the case for the new released shift tee! This shift tee is perfect for colour blocking and using up scraps, which is totally in my alley.... Continue Reading →
A new set for myself with colour blocking, what's not to love?! Petite Stitchery just released their new patterns and the Janie dress and separates is one of them (another one that I sewed in the Elliot dress which I sewed for our youngest). The great thing about these patterns is that they start at... Continue Reading →
The Adult Navarro by Stitch Upon A Time* is a very versatile pattern and maybe you didn't recognize all the Navarros that I sewed. I sewed two for our girl and since it is also available for women I sewed one for myself this time. The pattern includes a dress (like I sewed for our... Continue Reading →
I love asymmetrical garments, so when I saw the tester call for the Dahlia Top I jumped on the occasion and hoped I was picked. I was over the moon when I was selected to sew up the Dahlia top from SOLA Patterns. I love the asymmetrical neckline and the gathering on the front. It... Continue Reading →
